As I said in a previous post, border crossers come for jobs that US citizens won’t do for the money businesses are willing to pay. So while people scream that illegal immigrants are destroying our country, American businesses are quite happy with the status quo.

If we really want to stop border crossers, we could do so by making it impossible for them to find work. Won’t happen as long as the economics continue to work.

Utter nonsense.

Countries like Australia and many in Europe have high minimum wages but that has only increased the desire of economic refugees to breach their borders. Australia, under their current government made it crystal clear that anyone who arrives illegally on their shores will never be granted permanent residence. They have chosen to stop them before they enter Australian waters or arrest them and process them offshore if they do enter. But the 'Asylum Seekers ' know that they will never get Australian citizenship if the illegally try to jump the queue. Amazing that from the time that wall went up not one boat has reached Australia. The people smugglers were put out of business because those Asylum Seekers were not prepared to pay smugglers thousands of dollars with no chance of working the system to gain illegal entry and jump the queue

As for the stupid argument that it is the low quotas that are the problem, I would ask what quota do they think it should be to accommodate all the economic refugees who desire to leave their countries to seek a better life in the western world.
The UN currently estimates 65 million displaced persons who would qualify for Asylum status. Add a billion economic refugees and that means the quota would have to go up quite a bit. Hope they do not all plan to drive on our overcrowded freeways.
